While US President Barack Obama vacations in Hawaii, the White House is scrambling to explain why terrorism policies put into place by the Bush administration are being largely ignored by the Obama administration.

According to ABC News:

“Brian Jenkins, who studies terrorism for the Rand Corporation, says there were more terror incidents (12), including thwarted plots, on U.S. soil in 2009 than in any year since 2001. The jihadists don’t seem to like Americans any better because we’re closing down Guantanamo.”

My regular readers will recall that Sandrarose.com predicted this would happen when US president Barack Obama revealed his true colors after taking office. It was clear form the beginning that Obama sympathized with Muslim terrorists (notice I use those words together and not separately?).

When Obama took office in January, he announced plans to close the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay Cuba because he was concerned that the civil rights of those murderous terrorists were being violated.

He also drafted a love letter to the Muslim leader of Iran, and gave his first major interview as president — not to a U.S. news network — but to a Muslim network based in Saudi Arabia. All the while denying he was Muslim.

Obama’s primary mission seemed to be to remake the image of Muslim terrorists in the eyes of Americans. The Obama administration even laughably extended invitations to Iranian Diplomats to enjoy hot dogs and burgers on 4th of July (the administration later rescinded the invites).

Yet none of this raised red flags amongst enthusiastic Kool Aid drinkers. But now that the lives of Americans are being threatened on an ever increasing basis, Kool Aid drinkers are sitting up and taking notice.

The question being asked is why didn’t the (Obama) state department take into account a father’s warning that his son might be a danger to the U.S.? We’re not talking any ordinary father here, we’re talking about a former official with the Nigerian government!

The state department employee who took the father’s call, added the son’s name to a terror watch list. Yet Northwest Airlines bombing suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was approved for a travel VISA to the U.S. anyway.

Still, Obama’s Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told the world media “the system worked.”

According to The Washington Post, “White House officials struggled to explain the complicated system of centralized terrorist data and watch lists, stressing that they were put in place years ago by the Bush administration.”

So because the checks and balances system was put in place by the Bush administration, the soft Obama administration has virtually ignored them?
